Hanna was notified that the show would be held at the Bourbon Stockyards.

They were told it was too late. Mr. Bell said the exchange was assisting the Fair in every possible way.

tary manslaughter, the most serioug harge permitted under the law. Judge Robinson made only a brief reference to gambling, which th May grand jury said flourished in th city, but urged the June body to in. vestigata conditions thoroughly and return indictments where the fact! warranted, irrespective of political or social conditions. It was said yesterday that a majority of the members of the May grand jury will appear during the monta and give to their successors all the information in their possession, whlcu the recently body did not have time to Investigate.

riall, 2741 Dumesnil Street; Jacob Hal-ler, 1001 East Breckinridge In his charge to the jury Judge Robinson said in part: "I maintain, gentkmen, and I shall ever maintain, that when some bruts goes dashing around our streets in a machine that is death-dealing in its very character and nature, when ha knows that if he strikes some one, your child or mnie, that he will kill them, I claim that that human being not human being that brute haj malice against all mankind, and should be guilty of what is known as cold- blooded, premeditated murder. I few brutes of that kind were sent to the electric chair we would have less crime of that character in the city of Louisville, "In reference to gambling, gentlemen, I do not think to a body lik you it is necessary for me to go into detail as to what is your duty. It is said--that gambling is rampant in Louisville; that gambling is protected. Of that the Judge of this court, of course, has and. could have no possible knowledge.

Plea ior Equal Justice. "I am going to ask you gentlemen on this, grand jury to play nothing but what is just and right. If evidence of any character or nature Ii brought before you and you feel that an indictment should be returned, you indict any mortal being that you feel is guilty, and remember that our laws were never made to apply to any particular class of people. Do not indict some poor, helpless, weak creature anl let some one with an alleged political, social or financial pull get away from you." CHIME PUT ON CITIZENS.

HITS SKY Ground Leased For That Originally Cost, But a Song. New York, June 7 (Associated Press). Manhattan Island, once, sold by an Indian for $24 and a few drinks of firewater, has become so valuable that a tiny plot stretching only thirty-one feet along Broadaw recently was leased for an annual rental about $133 a square foot. Real estate men said this was the highest figure for which land was ever rented here. Tho site Is at Broadway and thirty-fourth Street, and extends about fifty feet alojig the latter.

Several years ago a department store wished to buy the corner plot, hnvlng procured the land on both sides as the site of a skyscraper. But the owner would not sell, even for $1, 000,000, and the big store had to erect its home around the small building. A four-story structure, housing on the ground floor a busy cigar store, still remains on the valuable corner lot, on all sides lofty buildings rear their bulks of steel and stone. The new lessee who will pay 53,500,000 fpr taxes and other expenses over a twenty-one year period, plans to erect narrow skyscraper on the triangular plot. A candy-making corporation will occupy the buidling.

Twenty years ago Robert S. Smith, who owns the property, startled realty men by paying for the land, which has only 1,250 snuare feet of area. He had come to America with Sd.75 from his native Russia in 1SS0. hen he bought' the property, he was told such a small strip was not worth the price and Could never be profitable. Within a few.

hours after the lease was drawn up, anbther candy concern offered $10,000 more a year for the land, but it Was too late. Farmei- Is Arrested In Nelson Distillery Theft Special to The Courier-Journal.

LOSTGOLD MINE Treasure Secreted 300 Years Ago Stili Awaits Adventurers In Old Mexico. Bisbee, June 7 (Associated Press). For 300 years, according to reliable records, the Sierre Madre Mountains of Sonora and Chihuahua, Mexico, have held the secret of a gold mine of fabulous richness and a vast treasure store of mined and hidden away in an inaccessible tunnel. The romance of the gold hunter is hidden in ths history of man's efforts through the centuries' to reach and bring back to civilization 'his wealth of the Old Tyopa mines. Murders and violence have marked many of these efforts, and still in many hardy breasts of this mining country today there stirs the spirit which has prompted many to brave the dangers of starvation, thirst and death at the hands of Indian bands and outlaws in the search for gold.

Mexico City contains records the old mine, and several prospectors, one of them Jack Dunn, accredited discoverer of the district, have reported seeing ruins of the old mine, but none ever reached there. According to records at tho Mexican rnnitnl. in. thf latter imrt of the Seventeenth Centiry the isolated vil lage of Old Tyopa was raided hy Indians, who destroyed the town and killed all the inhabitants except a priest. After wandering for several weeks the priest arrived at a little town call ed Agua Fria, on the Faqui River, where he was received and cared for by a Mexican family.

His hardships caused his. death, but before hi! died he gave to the family a description and map of the mining camp. He also reported that the gold obtained from seven years of mining had been stored in an old tunnel hecausa of the impossibility of shipment to civilization. The story and map, it is said, have been handed down from family to family Tor generations. Those who attempted to reach the camp lost their outfits and many did not return.

The Indians' for years menac-d all prospectors, and this condition still exists, augmented by bands- of outlaws. Max Covite, for several years Mex ican Consul at Naco, is said to have been the latest possessor of the priest's map.
